group discussions.

12.6 ADVOCACIES, PROGRAMS, AND EVENTS UP EnggLib is committed to further widening its reach within the community and promoting responsibility among its users through its advocacies, programs and events. I need. I value. I Love My Library. "I need. I value. I love my Library." is a library awareness campaign which promotes shared responsibility with library users (i. e., students, faculty, and researchers) in the care, upkeep and maintenance of library materials, facilities and equipment. UP EnggLib aims to inculcate values among the students for them to realize that their responsible use of the library resources and facilities is part of the library’s progress and that they, as library stakeholders, are vital to the advancement of the library in achieving its mission and vision. The campaign is also being adopted by several library communities nationwide and internationally. Greening the Library The library aims to contribute to caring for the environment by setting up recommended practices that would reduce the ecological footprint of libraries. With this, it published “101 Ways to Green the Library: A Handbook to Make the Library Environment-friendly” in

2013 in partnership with C&E Publishing, Inc. The handbook offers practical tips to make the Library sustainable and environment-friendly.

The handbook may also be used by other libraries to

promote the advocacy Best Borrower Award In recognition of their responsible use of library resources, students and faculty who have demonstrated maximized and responsible use of materials and have returned the most number of loaned books on time are awarded by EnggLib with certificates, I Love My Library merchandise and other prizes. Library Outreach Programs EnggLib conducts outreach programs, donating books and other materials to other institutions that would make great use of them. The Library's primary beneficiary has been the Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University in Pampanga.

UP EnggLib also donated children’s books that will be sent into the disaster stricken part of Leyte during Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. Proceeds used for the purchase of these books were collected from the staff and friends of the EnggLib.

Annual Engineering Resources Fair The fair is held annually to facilitate selection of print and e-resources among the faculty and researchers. 12.7 HISTORY Humble beginnings The UP College of Engineering Library traces its roots back to 1931, two decades after the College of Engineering was established. Library operations continued until the Second World War, during which the library was totally destroyed and services were nonexistent from 1945 to 1948. The Library transferred to UP Diliman, a year after the College of Engineering was relocated in the new campus. A Quonset hut

provided quarters for the Library until its meager holdings were transferred to the Engineering building in 1951, where the library is settled up to the present. Transitions Due to the growing population of the Engineering community, the following decades after the Library has settled in its permanent quarters were marked with changes in its operations, holdings, and partnerships. During the 1950s, the Library acquired equipment to provide bibliographic and reproduction services. From 1960s to 1970s, the collections were steadily increased with the creation of the Periodical section, donations from college-based organizations, and the printed collection of distinct areas of engineering with subjects ranging from industrial engineering to environmental engineering. The 1990s marked the beginning of significant realizations of initiatives in information technology for the Library. In 1993, it became the first library in the UP System to have a local area network (LAN)-linked microcomputers. During the latter part of the year, the Library was the first to have its local Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) ready for clients’ use and in 1994, the Library started its E-mail services. In 1995, the Library was among the fortunate institutions comprising the Department of Science and Technology – Engineering and Science Education Project (DOST-ESEP) Library Network. This network provided connectivity to library resources and services by means of the PHNet, which was the country’s gateway to the Internet then. Cooperative acquisitions were made with the Library housing engineering materials purchased under the DOST grant. The program also brought TinLib to the Library, a UK-developed integrated library software which replaced the Library’s local OPAC on the same year. This not only expanded EnggLib’s resources, it also widened the reach and scope of its facilities and services. The Library officially launched its Internet Service and Computing Facility in 1996, spearheaded the installation of an electronic security system in 1999, and pioneered in the use of broadband cable Internet connectivity in 2001. The Library, along with the Department of Computer Science, led the College of Engineering in proposing a funding for a UP Integrated Library System (iLib) using open source software. At present, iLib is deployed in all libraries of the constituent campuses of the University. Gearing up In 2007, a need to build a satellite library aroused specifically to serve the Department of Computer Science and Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute when these two departments moved to the Engineering Complex II. Being the newest library, EnggLib II, as the library is more fondly known, embarked on a well-planned journey into becoming

one of the most dynamic and innovative academic libraries in the country. In 2009, the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (ERDT) program went on a full-swing which greatly helped the Library to attain its vision. The funding brought about vast changes in the library, in terms of collection and physical facilities.

EnggLib II, situated at the UPAECH

In 2010, the two libraries were reorganized under one management and the year after, EnggLib I was renovated to have a newer and more modern ambience. EnggLib, then, moved towards becoming the best IT library by harnessing the power of technologies, developing new solutions suited to the ever-changing needs of its clientele, and continuously finding new ways to improve its services with the increasing growth in student population. In 2012 and 2014, the Department of Mining, Metallurgical, and Materials Engineering (DMMME) and the Department of Chemical Engineering (DChE) respectively transferred to the Engineering Complex II as well. The library collections on both disciplines were also transferred to EnggLib II. For more than eight decades, the library has continuously realized its mandate by living up to its commitment of providing the engineers of today and tomorrow with the best and most comprehensive academic resources, innovative services and facilities - amplifying excellence and leaving a remarkable legacy for the community it serves. 12.8 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Students who are currently enrolled, regular faculty and staff of UP may use the Library upon presentation of a valid ID, Temporary ID and Borrower's Card issued by the College Library or mother campus.
